Romantic Railroads: The German BR95 Class Locomotive for TS2016
This instalment in the Romantic Railroads series features the German DRG Class 95. This ten-coupled tank locomotive with a 2-10-2 wheel arrangement was procured by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (also referred to later as the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft, or DRG) in 1922 for hauling heavy goods trains on steep main lines.

SCENARIOS
Four Standard scenarios are included for the Hamburg-Hanover and Seebergbahn routes (both routes are NOT included in this package).
All four scenarios use the Expert version of the locos. In addition, the engines and wagons can be used on any Quick Drive-enabled route already in different configurations according to your personal taste.
HAMBURG-HANOVER ROUTE
RRR BR95 Oil Expert Harbour Shift
You are driving the oil-burning 95 0022-4 engine. Your first task will be to get water, oil and sand in the small maintenance facility. Afterwards you will switch the empty stake wagons for loading before you can hand over the train in the nearby station.
RRR BR95 Coal Expert Harbour Winter
It is a snowy winter day and you are driving a coal-fired BR95. You take your
complete freight train in the station. The loaded stake wagons have to be taken down to the harbour area and need to be unloaded in different locations. Afterwards you need to service the engine by taking on coal and water.
SEEBERGBAHN ROUTE (free download available from the STEAM website)
RRR BR95 Oil Expert - Climbing the mountain
You have to pull a long and heavy freight train up a mountain to the top station.
Another coal-burning 95 is helping to push you up. Be careful with your steam usage and watch the boiler pressure!
RRR BR95 Oil Expert - Counter-Pressure Brake
It's a winter day and you have to take a long and heavy freight train down the steep gradient. Do not use the train brakes, since the brake shoes would be spoiled in no time - only the Riggenbach counter-pressure brake will do the job!
